I applaud you Mr. Kojima.

I though that there was a quad layer Blu-Ray Disk giving it 100GB. The PS3 would only need a firmware update is what I believed that I had read.

i dont think sony would do that so soon just for MGS4. Kojima productions should have made a 2 disc 50gb MGS4 instead of compressing it.i would pay a $100+ game as long as it has superb game play+graphics+s tory.

Seriously over 50 GB? How much space does this man need?

I dont think it took up all that space.

Think about how much you can fit into 50GB's.

I think I cant understand killzone 2 taking up that space.

Ryan paton (how ever you spell his last name) said before that the audio in Mgs4 was fully uncompressed audio so it sounds perfect, That makes me wonder why would they compress other things? I dont think they would compress visuals...



All I can say is watch killzone 2 come out on one disk, then you'll know if this was true or not.



Anyways if this is true or not I still thing this game will be perfect. But I think (even if this were true) that they should'nt say this to the public. Why would you say the quality COULD have been better to people?

I hope by "quality could have been better" means language options or bonus content, as opposed to graphics or sound. That would be rather no good. if it were the latter.

Considering a game like Bioshock can fit on a standard dvd and still reek of superb quality, i doubt kojima is seriously having problems fitting mgs4 on a bluray disk. Most games don't even top 10gb.



Either way MGS4 is going to be the first big reason to own a ps3.

50GB BD is now, developments are going all the way to 200...



and supposingly even BD Players u got now can still play the new ones once they come out...



and DW about Kojima taking too much stuff out for the 2008 MGS4..

there is no doubt there will be a MGS4: SUB... like SUBSTANCE and SUBSISTANCE which could eventually going super BDs

I bet ,they are saying that because they didn't have enough time to put something into or it will be too short or something . I bet its because of one of those reasons.



Anyways i waited too long for this game and im still waiting , hopefully it will be amazing even though all that !

How about umcompressed 7.1 and 5.1 audio on the discs ?



Can take up a lot of space, quite fast.

If they had 2 scale it down to fit on d ps3 den how wud dey b able 2 fit it on aregular dvd disc for the xbox

i thought MGS:Online was a seperate disc all together

I seriously dont think so, Mgs is a game that always has a good/long story.



And what we've always seen is even if they dont put somthing they'll put it in the subsistance/+ version of the game. They've done it for all mgs games so far so I dont think their going to stop with mgs4.

Oh of course. Since the MGS games are 90% story and 10% gameplay.



Just saying.

xD "Dual sided bullcrap indeed"

both games are on seperate blu-ray disks (because there seperate games all together)

Mgs4+ Single player game

Mgo+ Online only (like warhawk is)

All these comments are idiotic. Why does taking 50Gb of space automatically make a game awesome?



If anything, I'd be more wary of the game because of it. How can any company make 50GB of quality stuff? They can't, it's borderline impossible. It's either got to be filled with crap, or there will have been so much focus put into resource heavy things like graphics, it must have deflected attention from other sections of the game.



Now I'm not saying the game's going to be bad, quite the contrary, what I'm saying is, I can't see how they could have filed a 50GB disk without the actual game suffering.



I would be quite happy to be proved wrong in this, but to have filled a 50GB disk, something has to have happened which is going to kill the game slightly from what it could have been.

that there is fifty gigs worth of content in this game. given kojima's track record, I think it would be pretty hard to say that any part of his last MGS game is going to be anything less than exceptional. fifty gigs of kojima-quality content is always a good thing.

you accidentally put a "1" in front of "0%".

You really need to buff up on your understanding of Blu-ray and why this game is taking up that much space.



Most of the space is really uncompressed audio, Video and graphics.



And the gameplay is also what is taking up the rest of the space. Have you watched an Uncompressed Video compared to a compressed one? Or a uncompressed Audio compared to compressed one?

Anyone who has heard the difference, like myself, can tell you How amazing the quality is with uncompressed material is than with.



So there's no doubt this game will be a master piece worth your money.



For him to want more space is actually amazing. Kojima please don't compress it, use multiple discs. I don't care if you have to use 1 more, do it, we will appreciate trust me. compressed material isn't right for this great game.

Opinion my ass! MGS2 was about 80% cutscenes and talking! Annoying garbage.

Assuming that 360 owners would be happy with a gimped game, that is still 6.25 Dual layer DVD's you are trying to compress.

Getting it down to 4 would be astounding unless you really start hurting the quality.

hey you never know how much things can change from now untill the time PS4 comes out. Just think about when you got your ps3 (if you had one), at the start you were amazed at what you saw compared the ps2. Imagine how this is going to be when ps4 gets released. Every game will be looking like crysis at their minimum ^_^.

MGS was two discs for the PSX and back them it was huge game - so Why be amazed at the 50gig game Kojima has produced? As we advance developers will just use the system resources at its max as well as the capacity of the media. So ask yourself if a plain blank CD costs you $100 per say, wouldnt you use the the 700MB capacity to store your pictures or files? Or would you store 10 hight quality instead of 1000 medium quality picts? Is your choice and in either case your will use the 700MB. Now apply that to the game making - Kojima team is using the whole 50Gig on stuff that we are gonna get. Maybe for a longer game play or just maybe graphics and sounds. If you have it at your disposition why not use the whole 50Gig? Is not that you need that space to store anything anyways.

my god MGS2 was more garbage and what really upsets me that snake was not the main person and I never though about having a gay blond guy.



MGS1 still the best, MGS2 blows



MGS3 was well alright.

FreePlay never lies. He's still right. He knows everything. Uncompressed or compressed, there is no way it can't fit on a 50 GB disk. A compressed movie of 2 hours would be about 700 MB whist an uncompressed movie of 2 hours may hit up to 3-4 GB or so. Make it High definition and you'll be topping up to 10 GB. Some of the most complex game engines ever have made up to 20 GB MAX. Either he added a lot of padding, he's bull*****ting us to create hype for the game, or he's added over 6 hours of uncompressed pre-rendered high definition cut-scenes which is not even possible. Since most of it is rendered in real time anyways. FreePlay is right. Anyways, he could make a dual-layered Blu-Ray disk to hit up to 100 GB of space if he needed it. This is called HYPE*****.

Well, well if games continue to get bigger and bigger i know a certain console that will be needing a new drive.
